where are checkbooks?

Laser checks. https://www.deluxe.com/shopdeluxe/pd...checks|pmt|be|

I don't/won't accept cash. Since my bills are usually in the thousands, anyone who wanted to pay in cash would be a client that I wouldn't want to be in business with.

bank issued checks? yeah, that's all I us

yeah, I understand not accepting cash

Good info
thanks
I bank with BoAmeria. and can get free checks via them,
but they only have the small checkbooks with carbon paper shit, that is just useless
True, you can use a larger check register to track all your checks, but I wanted the CheckBOOK so I can have the stubs and or register WITH all the checks...so I'm not pulling out a checkbook like I'm a grandma at the grocery story buying a piece of fruit+ENQUIRER magazine.

I got the book via amazon and BOA is sending me checks.. so it works out well
if only I could not ever need actual cash/.

All are used for a special purpose to have control of where the money is spent. Beside the monetary control for who spent what where there is a lot of bonus payback. AE has a lot of points accumulated that can be changed for cash, travel or other rewards. All of the VISA gather cash bonus.

By the way I saved about $5000 per year on bank fees when I kicked Bank of America out the door. Both US Bank and Commerce Bank are good alternatives.

I like discover card because I pay off my balance every month automatically via just linking it to my boa account

I also use credit karma, which is cool, but meh, never had an issue with credit being stolen or lost wallet. etc

I use checks for 3 main reasons
pay the handyman

The following are about the extent of my personal expenses:

Grocery store - Personal Credit Card
Medical and Dental charges - Personal Credit Card
IRS for personal returns - Personal Check
Monthly money for my wife - Personal Check
My gym fees - Personal Check
Personal Cash for the hobby - Personal Check to myself.

Business Expenses:

All vehicles have a different gas card to track expenses with the individual drivers having special codes to identify who used the card.
All airline fares are through American Expense to accumulate the points.
Add section managers have their own cards.

The point is to use a CC to isolate and control expenses, so one can see what is happening. I have always had company credit cards issued to me when I had any responsibility to conduct company business.

About the only thing I use cash for is the hobby; because I don't want that tracked.

My handyman, lawn keeper, maid, and laundry lady said "fuck you" to taking checks. My gym, golf club, and private fishing lake dues are pulled out by either credit card or ACH. I have not written a check for anything for years. My business manager/ accountant has a company checkbook that I have never seen but I must sign some large checks and I think he brings it with him to closing meetings incase terms change.
When I need cash I walk into the bank with my debit card and they give me up to $2500 cash. If I need more I tell him. He even wired the money to the car dealer when I bought my last car. Shuts the aftermarket and F+I guys, right the fuck, up when you say "It's already paid for, give me the paperwork and my keys."

BOA stands for "Bank of ASSWIPES"

My business bank was told if they want me to deposit and withdraw then they can charge me, but if they expect me to keep a cash balance overnight they were going to cut me a deal. They did!

I get my hobby money from money the IRS never gets to count, I buy some warehouse shelving. equipment, or whatever, sell it on CL and reload my pockets. Never do I go to the bank to get hobby money. The first thing you will have to explain to your attorney is why you need 2-3K for pocket cash during a divorce, when your wife's PI already tagged your actions and has bedded the same provider.

Want to learn how to hobby come to DC, Pay the maid by check? LMFAO

Medical and Dental charges - Personal Credit Card

if my bill is 300, care credit will pay the dentist, then I pay $25 or something til its paid off,(giving you interest free months to pay it off)
the catch is if its not paid off before the time they give you OR you miss a payment, they charge you out the ass

I don't use cash much, put now I have to use it to buy powerball tickets

I don't use credit cards to control spending, I use them to see what I spend money on and not have to carry cash.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned the web site electronic payments that most of the banks have. All of the credit cards, I mention are paid on the net with direct cash transfer from the general ledger account to the individual credit card accounts.

The term bill pay, at the bank I used for that, was for automatic payments direct from the account by bank check. That is really good if you have the same payments every month for something like a mortgage or child support.

I was referring to transferring money directly from one account to another. Go to your bank website, open your account and transfer money directly to other accounts you have in the bank, or to other banks. You can even send money directly to individuals.

Maybe the latter was the same as what you were talking about.

I can send a check to DD's mom or just pay a bill. or transfer money at a set date
the bank is responsible for the date, so if I set my power bill to be paid on the 2nd and they dont get the check til the 5th, the bank will pay me whatever late fee

If, by sending a check to DD's mom, you are referring to child support payments; documentation of those payments out of a totally separate account is suggested. Most cases of CS today are required to be remitted to the county having jurisdiction over the matter. Most of these will not accept personal checks, so it is prudent to have a bank send CS payments. Thus, you have a double record; from the county, and from the bank account sending the money. For many men, a separate CS account allows for the accumulation of extra money to serve as a buffer to pay CS should your funds run low during lean times.

Just last week I talked to a lady friend whose husband had been paying his ex directly for CS. The ex-wife now says that the money he has paid to her for years doesn't count for the child support she now claims she is due. She has petitioned the court to make him pay for years of back child support that she claims is due her. He paid her money, but she claims it doesn't count. He is really worried and has had to get an attorney to help, but with little hope of receiving credit for the funds; in addition, if he doesn't pay he could go to jail.

The moral of this scary story. Learn to protect yourself with an ex-wife. Have documentation for everything.
